Jules Flandrin (1871–1947) was a French painter, printer and draughtsman, born at Corenc, near Grenoble, on 9 July 1871. He was a pupil of Gustave Moreau. He was a contemporary of Henri Matisse, Georges Rouault, Albert Marquet, Henri Evenepoel and Léon Printemps. He became somewhat famous for being fairly conformist early in his career but later in life he made more emotional and less widely known art. His experiences during World War I shaped the rest of his life and artistic career. He was awarded the Légion d'honneur in 1912.{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/4723077/A-Fauve-the-world-forgot.html|title=A Fauve the world forgot|last=Dorment|first=Richard|work=The Telegraph|publisher=25 April 2001|accessdate=21 April 2010 | location=London | date=25 April 2001}}
